Cardinals @ Cubs: Lackey vs. Hammel (Game 167; NLDS Game 4)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs set a postseason record with 6 HRs to pick up their ace. Now let’s win it at home.

STL: RHP John Lackey
CHC: RHP Jason Hammel
First pitch: 3:37pmCT

Hammel last pitched on Oct. 1, when he won in Cincinnati (5 IP, 0 ER). At Wrigley this year, he went 3-3 with a 3.99. He’s 1-1 with a 5.73 in three games against St. Louis this year, and they are batting .244 against him in those games. The one game against the Cardinals at Wrigley came on July 8, when he left after an inning because of a hamstring tweak. Overall, the Cards are 41-127 (.323) against him: Heyward is 9-18, Peralta is 9-23 with 2 HR, Holliday is 4-11. Hammel is 0-1 with a 4.80 is 4 postseason appearances.

Lackey is back on short rest in the elimination game. He beat the Cubs on Friday in Game One against Lester in St. Louis (7.1 IP, 0 ER). The Cubs are 34-121 (.281) against him. Coghlan is 8-17, Soler (who has stopped making outs) is 4-8.

Go Cubs!

Just to remember how far we have come: last year's opening day lineup was Bonifacio, Lake, Castro, Rizzo, Olt, Castillo, Schierholz, Barney, and Samardzija. It's been a fun ride this year!

No idea what will happen. The Cards are the Cards and they have come back from 2-1 holes twice in the last 4 years, so I don't see them in panic mode at all. If anything, I expect the Cubs to be pressing more than the Cards today. I want the Cubs to win because it would be great for the city, and great for the fans. But more than anything, I want the Cubs to win so I can see this team play for at least one more week this year. Never enjoyed watching a team more than this year.

Yes. Unfortunately, as many of us, I have seen this movie before. Do not care for Hammel, and unlike other managers Joe will pull the plug quickly at least. I hope before things were to get out of hand. Many of us are like "abused spouses" or whatever - with this Cubs stuff. You get hurt so many times, the trust rapidly erodes. If the Cubs can get to Lackey early, its gonna be a big key to a W or L.

Well, at least it took Hammel 2 batters to give up a first inning run. Worst nightmare realized in under 3 minutes.

JAVY "BAE"Z I LOVE YOU JUST... THIS SEASON. WOW.

Don't think I've ever seen a crowd go that crazy for a K to end the 4th inning. This is going to be a long, crazy, afternoon.

Pretty good pitch by Cahill that Cruz hit, though throwing a breaking ball in the dirt seems like a better option in retrospect.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
